paying attention?
Answered by drwls
Correct, the other three methods are effective and relevant, and NOT tangential

Can you please explain to me how drinking tea is "effective and relevant" to getting good results? I don't understand.
Answered by bobpursley
It is a very lousy question. Tangential has various definitions. See that dictionary link. If you use def 3, you are right, drink tea.
Most of us Math geeks prefer tangential to mean along the same direction, so I would have chosen Planning. But working hard, and paying attention also are related to that.

So the different answer is drinking tea, and using def 3.

Bad, Bad Question.
